Their method of hunting is so precise that no one can escape from them even if they want to. Every animal can injure its prey in its own way and kill it. Even some animals hunt so brutally that you get stunned. 

The attacks of some animals are very painful and some kill you without giving any pain. And today we will tell you about such animals whose attacking methods will astonish you, so without delay let us know about our article Animals and Their Attacking Abilities.

Komodo dragon

Among the dangerous animals, let us first talk about the Komodo dragon, which does not even allow its prey to move due to its attacking skills. The attack of Komodo dragon is so dangerous that even humans are forced to run away from it. Known as the largest living lizard, this animal is also known as Land Crocodile due to its attacks. They are only 3 meters long in size but weigh up to 70 kilograms.

 Talking about attacks, Komodo dragons mostly attack in groups. And by attacking the neck or lower part of their victim, they leave them half dead and when the victim does not have the strength to fight after losing more than half of the blood of their body, they leave them. In this attack they have sharp claws and sharp teeth help in killing the prey quickly. 



Apart from this, it is believed that there is poison present in their teeth and lower jaw which helps in killing the prey quickly.

After attacking, many animals are known to kill their prey and cook it, but today we will tell you one such thing about the Golden Eagle, knowing which you will also start wondering how birds are so intelligent. Normally, the method of attack of the Golden Eagle is simple. With the help of its powerful feet and sharp talons, it destroys all four sides of the enemy. 

It is common for them to catch their prey in their legs and fly away. They trap it and take it to a safe place and then kill it by biting it with the help of its beak. Although they often make squirrels, grouse partridges, reptiles and small birds their food, but in the past, they have eaten larger animals like goats

Their intelligence level was measured when they first threw a goat standing at a height to the ground with the help of their claws and beak and then when the goat died due to falling from a height, they easily killed it. Made it his food.

Electric eel

We have seen animals that kill their prey by flying and swallowing them, but now let's talk about the electric eel, which God has sent to this earth by blessing it with electric current. Electric eels have electric current for their security. Which it mostly uses either to save its life or to arrange for its food.

 Whenever a prey or predator comes near it, it releases an unusual electric charge from its body which gives a shock of 440 watts to the person in front. Due to which it mostly dies. Electric eel lives in the depth of water where there is darkness which makes it easier for them to hunt. As prey, they like to eat amphibians and reptiles like fish, scorpion, insects and small rodents.

Deinopidae Spider

There are so many surprising things in nature that sometimes you might think they are an illusion but in reality it is true and this is also the specialty of nature, like if you talk about Deinopidae, whose way of attacking is exactly like that of humans. Yes, just as humans catch their prey by laying a net in the forest, in the same way Deinopidae also very quietly lays a net of its own making to catch its prey and as soon as it sees a prey, it closes its net.

 Leaves it on top and then very easily makes the caught insects its food. As strange as it sounds, it is equally interesting to see. Looking at their way of hunting, they are called Net Casting Spiders. Also known and are mostly found in Australia, Africa and America.

Frogfish

If we talk to you about the fastest animal, then of course you will take the name of cheetah. If we talk to you about the fastest bite, then of course no one is faster than the frog fish. The speed with which this fish bites is impossible to measure even in seconds. This fish's bite is faster than the blink of an eye and its beauty is like a vacuum which sucks any creature inside itself. Its unusual look has also given it the ability to catch its prey through mimicry.

 After selecting the victim, it digests the prey at the speed of light. Apart from speed, these fish have also got Spanish which they use to hide themselves while hunting and many frogfish even change their color. Now, no matter how effective hunters they are, they are considered to be super agile and poor swimmers who prefer to stay on the ocean floor.

Secretary bird

It is not necessary that everything that looks beautiful should be lovely. For example, look at secretary birds which are very beautiful in appearance but in reality they are quite fierce. Their way of attacking is ruthless due to which many animals hesitate to come in front of them. 

These birds hunt more in land areas. on the ground. If we talk about preference, then Secretary birds like to hunt in pairs but when needed, they attack the prey alone. Their main weapon for hunting is their feet with which they hunt. They kill animals by kicking or crushing them. Secretary birds living in Africa mostly prey on locust beetles, mouse, hares and mongoose, but when their hunger crosses the limits, they also prey on cobras. While attacking without thinking first, these birds mostly spread their wings in the air and continuously kill and eat the prey with the help of their legs.

Margay cat

Margay is the name of that wild animal which, being a cat, considers itself like a monkey. The methods of attack of this cat are amazing but you will be surprised to know that Margay can also climb trees vertically at 180 degree angle. It knows amazing techniques of climbing, due to which it is compared to a monkey. 

Marge is a resident of South and Central America, which attracts its prey through mimicry before hunting. To attract the prey, Marge uses the monkey's small children. They emit sounds due to which as soon as they come near the prey, they attack it and kill it. Due to this, their energy is wasted less and the success rate of their attack also increases. 

In the name of hunting, they are called monkeys, squirrels, birds, eggs. ,Likes to eat lizards and treefrogs.

Archer fish

Humans may not have as much brain as the animals included in our list. Another show of intelligence is coming to show. Archer fish is the fish which is known to defeat any prey due to its amazing intelligence. The attacking technique of this fish is amazing. It first throws its prey into the water with a strong jet of water and then chases it rapidly to satisfy its hunger. 

At the same speed with which a jet of water comes out from a super soaker, it spits water into its mouth. After reaching the surface of the water, it attacks with full energy the insects living at a height of a few meters from it and if by mistake it hits them for the first time. Even if the attack misses, it can release a shower of water from its mouth seven times in a row. The use of the word Archer in its name has also been kept in view of its arch abilities.

Glowworm

When seen together from a distance the Glowworms shine like stars in the sky.


It is said that everything that glitters is not gold. This statement is completely true on Glowworms. Even the best of people can get confused after seeing these worms because they have a light which is present in their body to shine in the darkness of night. These worms are attached to the body and this light is God gifted to them.

You may feel disgusted to see these worms from close, but when seen together from a distance, they look like stars in the open sky, which tourists come from far and wide to see together. But before getting fascinated by their light, you should know that their light is a means of hunting them. Glowworms glow through bioluminescence, which is due to a chemical reaction in their body.

They attract insects with their glow. And as soon as any insect gets attracted by their glow and wants to come near them, it gets trapped in the large sticky webs spread by them, after which they eat it easily.

Bottlenose dolphins

The way bottlenose dolphins attack will seem like a movie shoot. To hunt, these dolphins work in a team and prepare their food using strangers' techniques. While attacking, these dolphins make mud nets which The reason is that small fish jump together to come out of that mud nest and become their prey. These dolphins do not allow the jumping fish to go back to the water.

 To attack, a dolphin hits the seabed with its tail while swimming. And it throws up mud on the seabed and creates a cloud in the water. Along with this, it makes a net in the water with the mud, in which the fishes trapped in the net lose their lives while trying to get out of it.
